Spots left by braces on teeth?
Ok I just got my braces off (Yay!) and my teeth are SO straight! It looks SO much better, but I'm kind of worried because there are a few places that are like SUPER white on the outer edges of a couple teeth. What is it? Is it normal? How can I get rid of it? Thanks!!!

I have braces now and I have those spots too. They're called white spots and they're from missing some places when you brush your teeth. It's completely normal. In fact, most people do have them. To get rid of white spots, using a fluoride toothpaste is optional, but will help tremendously. [Just a reminder, brush in circles not side to side] White strips are also an option but are a little pricey. I started using a fluoride toothpaste at the end of summer and my white spots are almost all gone. [When my braces come off, I'll buy whiting strips, too]

that happened to be me when i got my braces off. so i used crest white strips and i used this certain toothpaste that whitens your teeth and takes away stains, i think it's made by crest as a well. also, make sure you brush your teeth 2-3 times a day. hope that helps! :)

It's spots where you may not have been able to brush well enough. It could be other reasons, but that's most likely it.
I definitely had some spots like that and my dentist is fixing them for me. Yours should be able to do the same.
Unfortunately on my part, I'm in college right now, so I can only go to the dentist when I'm home over long breaks.
Make an appointment with your dentist to see what he/she can do. If not much, you can probably go buy some whitening strips.
